wowexec.exe

tsumake - Nov 8, 2004

			Yeesh, I'm asking so many questions. I accidentally deleted the file "wowexec.exe", thinking it was spyware. It turns out that I need this file to run 16-bit applications on XP. Does anyone know where I could find a copy of this file on the net, or would someone be kind enough to send me it? It's a rather small file. Thanks!

			my memory is very vague about this, but isn't this executable related to spyware crap?

		tsumake		Nov 8, 2004
			Yes, it is. I think spyware makes a "fake" version of this file, called _wowexec.exe. Though, I kinda need the real one to run some specific programs.

			It's the uncompressed size that really matters.
